I worked in a non-profit before joining Fleet Response as the communications coordinator,\u201d Varner explained. \u201cI quickly took on a role working with clients to gather feedback to enhance our online tools and overall product offering.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After joining the company in 2004 and during the 16 years, Varner has been with Fleet Response.
